As soon as the non update was made a real update came through! AVS shipment is on the boat now! vesselfinder.com/?imo=970463… If you have an order from BEFORE July 14 2023 your console is there. If you order today, July 14, or later the ETA is December 2023.

Boat will take 4-6 weeks + another week to unload and get transferred here, then 1-2 weeks to ship out all the orders. Early Sept for USA delivery? That assumes no other delays like a UPS strike or overlapping with my 20th anniversary. This applies to orders placed BEFORE today

Summer update! Nothing new to share yet, previous post from April is still the most up to date info available. As of April we were waiting on one chip to become available so AVS manufacturing can begin. We should have more details soon. Once we have any info we will share asap :)

Doesn't matter which system it is on, this is a horrible game nobody should ever play!

AVS production is down to one more chip! As far as I know everything else is in hand at the factory. That PIC chip estimate has moved out to August, but I might eat the cost of a more expensive version so we aren't waiting 4 more months.

And in AVS news, one of the chips is now easily available! Now down to 2 left. One power chip and the main PIC chip. I am still pretty confident summer will happen but need to talk to the factory to get more details so probably a better update in a couple weeks.

Here is your chance to own one of the only known official Nintendo toploaders with AV out. This is not a mod! PCB looks like production, the top shell has 'AV OUT' in the plastic mold rather than 'CH3-4 RF OUT'. ebay.com/itm/144409726191

Ok lets this this again... If you downloaded 1.50b1, sorry! Here is the correct newest firmware 1.50 Final. This allows you to upload custom palettes, AND has game genie fixes. You will need 1.50b1 Scoreboard program to upload palettes. retrousb.com/downloads/AVS-1…

To upload a custom palette you will need a .pal file that is 192 bytes (standard). The firmware still has 3 different palettes built in, with the 4th as the one you upload. Here is a sample .pal file you can try. retrousb.com/downloads/Smoot…

Updated Scoreboard program v1.50b1 now out for Windows. This fixes the 'crashes after a few seconds' bug. retrousb.com/downloads/Score… Sorry Mac users, you will have to wait. Current work around is to disable your wifi / internet connection before starting the Scoreboard program.

2/11 Of course right after the non update update there is a real update, and it's bad. Long ago when this AVS batch was first starting the HDMI buffer chip was discontinued, so it took a few weeks to verify the replacement chip would work.
